"Orpheus and Eurydice" is a painting by George Frederick Watts, a British artist associated with the Symbolist movement. Created in the late 19th century, this work is one of several interpretations of the tragic love story from ancient Greek mythology, where Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet, attempts to retrieve his wife Eurydice from the underworld after her untimely death.

Watts was known for his allegorical works and his interest in universal themes encompassing love, life, and death, which are vividly portrayed in this painting. The artwork captures the poignant moment when Orpheus, having been granted permission by Hades to lead Eurydice back to the living world on the condition that he must not look back at her until they have both reached the upper world, succumbs to his desire to gaze upon her, thus losing her forever.

The painting is emblematic of Watts's style, characterized by its rich symbolism, emotional depth, and the use of mythological subject matter to explore profound philosophical questions. "Orpheus and Eurydice" is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The figures of Orpheus and Eurydice are rendered with a romantic sensitivity that was typical of Watts's approach to narrative art.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of George Frederick Watts, "Orpheus and Eurydice" reflects the artist's preoccupation with the themes of love's transcendence and the human condition's fragility. It remains an important example of British Symbolist art and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the late Victorian period. The painting is held in various collections and has been displayed in several exhibitions dedicated to Watts's work, continuing to inspire interest and admiration for its emotional resonance and aesthetic qualities.
